I'd like to hear anyone's experience with one of the headsets like the Lighspeed L1 or Mach 1, or the Clarity Aloft headset. I really like the idea of them, if they work. Besides the obvious questions of noise attenuation, comfort and sound quality, I'd like to know if they interfere with glasses...

The GTX330 transponder is the recent addition. The 330 works but the auto ground/air mode switching (based on GPS ground speed) doesn't work. According to the GTX330 Pilot's Guide, the only thing that GND mode does is turn off transponder replies. It's my understanding that it is no longer...

During my instrument training I was told that if you have an IFR certified GPS, it had to be updated if you were using it for IFR Flight. You can use it VFR even if it hasn't been updated Charlie Peter wrote: I've been told that if one's GPS is an IFR approved unit (KLN94B in my case) and it's...

I have a co-worker who's father just passed away. He'd like his ashes scattered over his home town. I've read a few horror stories in flying magazine. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a Mooney and am a little concerned about stuff getting blown back in, or all over the wings. ...
